About the space

Pride Place is the first LGBTQ+ community and cultural space in Leeds City Centre, brought to you by Pride of Place Leeds.

Since August 2025, Pride Place is temporarily operating from Flamingos Coffee House, a warm and welcoming cafe in Central Arcade. From our temporary home, we will continue to support both public and private events for LGBTQ+ groups in Leeds and West Yorkshire.

The previous event space being used by Out Together

We are located right in the heart of the city, a short distance from the train and bus stations. The space is wheelchair accessible (see below for full access details).

We’re looking forward to hosting you and your group!
